CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com's Best of 2001 As the mastermind behind Mott the Hoople and as a solo performer, Ian Hunter influenced bands as diverse as the Clash, Queen, Oasis, and R.E.M. An American resident since the mid-'70s, Hunter's native England weighs heavy on his mind. The elegiac Dylan-esque ballad "Death of a Nation" delivers a poignant but scathing reflection on today's Britain, but the caustic images of "Purgatory" suggest American life is also far from perfect. Hunter still combines plainspoken lyrics with theatricality, autobiographical candor ("American Spy"), and sharp historical perspectives ("Morons"). The celebratory closer "Still Love Rock & Roll" shows where his faith remains; the rewards are here for all to hear. --Gavin Martin Similar CDs

CD ReviewsOverlooked Johnny Revelator | Sunny Ft. Lauderdale | 02/03/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you don't want a CD that you'll be singing a different song from in your head each morning, than don't buy this one. I put this CD in my single CD car radio and it stayed there for almost a month before I took it out. I still have to hear at least one track from it every morning first thing on my way to work. It's like a good luck charm. Of course once again one of the greatest songwriters of our generation is overlooked by radio and critics, but sometimes it's o.k. because it's kind of a cult secret to the fans who love him. Buy it, listen to it several times, and you'll want to buy them all. Mellencamps guitarist Andy York seems so much more comfortable with Ian. They're a great match, Johnny" Low Expectations Larry J. Ekstrand | Minneapolis, MN | 02/20/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was browsing through the "used" bins at my local "record" store and stumbled upon this album. I hadn't bothered to follow what Ian Hunter has been up to for years, but thought I'd give this 2001 release a shot. What a surprise to find out that Ian can still write a catchy song, without being conventional about it. Like other reviewers, "Dead Man Walking" is the best cut on the disc, but ALL the other songs aren't that far behind. It's good to hear a high quality album from an artist who never got his due after "Mott the Hoople". If you've ever loved the music of the group or the man, buy this recording. Ian Hunter deserves your patronage and you deserve a wonderful dose of "good ole rock and roll"."
